Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Plot Details Revealed

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to receive its first trailer this week, and we've learned a few plot details ahead of that first full look at the sequel.

If you want to know absolutely nothing about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom before release, this is your last chance to turn back from whence you came.

As per EW, Fallen Kingdom will seem to focus more on saving dinosaurs than on running away from them - at least at first.

Set several years after Jurassic World, a dormant volcano has become active on Isla Nublar, and threatens to wipe out the remaining dino population. Returning lead Claire Dearing is determined not to let that happen.

“Claire’s founded an organization, Dinosaur Protection Group," explains actress Bryce Dallas Howard, "and they’re finding a way to get these dinosaurs off the island. She reaches out to Owen Grady to let him know this is happening.”

That also means the burgeoning romance between Dearing and Chris Pratt's Grady appears not to have lasted between the films:

“When you see them at the beginning of this story, you get caught up as to what’s going on,” explains Howard. “But it’s not what you would necessarily expect.”

Presumably, even that plan doesn't go to plan - it wouldn't be much of a Jurassic Park movie if something didn't go catastrophically wrong.

We'll find out more when the trailer drops on Thursday in the USA, and Friday in Australia and Europe - and we'll find out even more than that when the film arrives on on June 22, 2018.
